fuel gauge bulb

How do you swap the fuel gauge bulb?
I've got the cover off but can't see an obvious holder for it, do I have to take all the dials out too?

Okie's so I've found what I'm guessing are correct ones but the bulb ( bottom left in holder looking through the windscreen) seems good I've swapped it but I can't tell yet if its worked its not dark enough here lol, also it seems as there are x4 empty bulb holder slots is this normal?

Yes its normal. There are different specs in Japan, US, Europe and so on. There is also a few Rover's that use the same PCB and housing.

That solves that bit then,
Am I right in guessing that the lower left is the fuel gauge holder?, and if a new bulb hasn't fixed it what else could it be?

I've swapped both lower left ones actually as I was unsure both bulbs looked good tbh

Ah new development..,
I've found a bigger bulb I thinks its this one its wearing what looks like a green johnny..
Can anyone confirm?
Thanks also if this is it , is it possible to buy different colours?

Basically its a sidelight bulb, I found x2 led ones I'd got knocking about and looks good now, pitty I didn't have any of the blue ones to hand I know I've got several sets knocking around somewhere and I bet they would look cool enough..

So if anyone else need to renew any its the bigger ones there appears to be 3 in total and slide in side light bulbs fit perfectly..

I think a standard sidelight bulb may be too higher wattage and generate too much heat for the instrument pack.

Worth checking the wattage of the new and old bulbs as you don't want to melt the instrument pack

That's true

Hopefully someone can tell me on here?

I think I'm right in saying there all 5w so should be OK?

I haven't checked on Freelander, but the instrument panel versions are usually 2W I think rather than 5W

This the current with x2 ice white LED's at either side of an original dull 501 with a green Johnny on, tbh the old bulb is easier to see in the real world oddly its got a bigger contrast, the camera is lying abit

Heres the old pic to compare..

Bv the first pic is in the dark not shade..

I think a blue or a green would look good I might give some a try if I can dig some out
